[sdiy] Bit Crunch

[harry bissell]

Undersampling just gives alias tones... with a fixed (even if variable) 
clock you will get more
frequency shift or ring-modulator sounds.

I'd do what you planned (A/D - D/A) but with the ability to kill lower 
order bits selectively.

Maybe an 8 bit input, but only a four bit output.

If you want to buy something off the shelf that does exactly this...the 
Blacet/ Wiard MiniWave
is the ticket.  You can make EPROM banks that map 8 bit data to 
arbitrary output waveforms.
